tubing embodying stiength, lightness.

It is also an object of this invention to produce a machine or apparatus-constt-uctml to manufacture pipe or tubing rapidly and cheaply and toproduce such an apparatus or machine which will be simple and cheap inconstruction and at the same time and effective in operation. Anotherobject of this invention is to provide a machine or apparatusconstructed to use perforated paper, cloth, or wire-cloth anddurability, and

to wrap the same around a mandrel in layers, Similar characters ofreference designate together with wire and sheet metal after thecorresponding parts throughout the several matenal has been saturated orcoated or views.

Referring to l the drawings, and particularly to the constructionillustrated in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 thereof, thereferencecharacter A designates. a kettle or heatingreceptacle constructed toreceive and retain a mixture or composition" of maltha, bitu1nen,asphaltor caoutchouc, and silicates or composite matter made in a mixture -ofproportions and ingredients desired. Upon the interior of the kettle orreceptacle A is formed or secured a continuous jacket m, or coils ofsteam-pipes may be employed instead of the jacket, if desired, for thepurpose of heating the contents of the kettle or heating-receptacle,which it is desirable to-keep ata temperature sufiicient to liquefy thecomposition or mixture employed, as will be readily understood by thoseskilled in the art to which this invention appertains.

Formed on or connected with one end or side of the kettle orheating-receptacle A t in a mixture and carried to the mandrel with theaforesaid material;

further constructed to compress each layer of materialas the same isbeing wound, so as to unite the layers together and prevent the producea strong, durable, and light pipe or tube impermeable to water and air.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists,essentially, in the construction, combination, and arrangement of partssubstantially as more fully described in the ollowing specification andessentially as I illustrated in the accompanying drawings, l formingpart of this application, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevational View,partly-l are brackets or supports b, constructed to removably receiveand revolubly support the trunnions or axis of reel or drum B,containing material or web B, preferably consisting of a perforatedpaper, cloth, or wire-cloth. Revolubly mounted upon or adjacent to thebracket or support I) are a plurality, preferably three, of heating anddrying rollers or cylinders constructed to be supplied in any suitablemanner with a heating and drying medium, desirably steam, for thepurpose of removing the moisture from the material before the samereaches the contents of the kettle or heatingrece tacle A, whereb T theweb or material will e in better condition to receive or be-- comesaturated with such contents, as will be readily understood.

Formed on or connected with the sides of the kettle orheating-receptacle are guides or supports V and Y, Fig. 3 and Figs. 5and 5, one whereoflis provided with a circular bearing Z and the otherwith bearings X, open at one side to permit the introduction and removalof the. trunnions or axis of the submerged roller a, and by means ofthis construction the submerged roller can be adjusted with exactness,accordingto the height or level of the mixture or composition in thekettle or heating-receptacle A.

Mounted upon the top of the kettle or heating-receptacle A and o positethe brackets or supports b are brac ets f, wherein is "revolubly mounteda mandrel F, preferably consisting of a metallic cylinder open at bothends and braced by a spider or internal spokes, substantially asillustrated in Fig. 1.

- of the drawings;- thereby affording lightness invention, as will bereadily appreciated by those versed in the manufacutre of products.

Suitably mounted above the kettle or heating-receptacle A is ahanger-frame C, which may be supported in any manner, and revolubly andremovably mounted in said such frame is a reel or drum R, constructed toreceive wire to either in predetermined lengths or of continuous length,adapted to be fed or unreeled to the mandrel F and wound thereon betweenan in connection with the layers of material or the web B, ashereinafter more fully explained.

Revolubly and removably' mounted in the hanger-frame C is a sgg olsupports by the tilti within the pipe or may or drum S, constructed toreceive wire which is also adapted to be fed to the mandrel F and to bewound between and together with the web or material B.

Depending arms 0 are preferably connected with the hanger-frame C, andpivoted to-the end of said arms are levers C, 1n the free end whereof isrevolublv mounted an ironer or pressure device G, constructed with lowgitudinal concave faces or depressions approximately corresponding tothe exterior contour of the mandrel F, Fig. 1, and by means of anactuating-rod o'the ironer or pressure device can be raised or lowered,as shown in dotted lines, and the degree of pressure exerted can beregulated, as will be readily understood.

The ironer G is preferably provided with suitable connections 8, Fig. 2,with the source of supply of the heating medium, such as gas, and may beof several forms. For example, it may be a calender-roller having adifferent speed of rotation from that of the mandrel F, either faster orslower, or it may have a concave ironing-surface g or several suchsurfaces of different sha es. When constructed in the latter way, it oesnot rotate except to permit a particular surface to be brought intoposition, but is stationary while it irons. This latter form is regardedas preferable. The ironer' may Operate while the pipe is being wound onthe mandrel; but it is sometimes better to keep it swung up intoinactive osition until after the pipe has been wound when it is broughtinto play to finish forming the same, in doing which it returns to thekettle any excess material scraped oif or squeezed out of the pipe.

Mounted adjacent to the kettle or heatingreceptacle A is a water box orreceptacle M,

wherein are mounted Wetting or cooling rollers Hand 1, of wood or metal,to cool, chill, and assist in tightening the material. Slotted guides Pare mounted on each side ofthe water-box M and provided with guidingarmsto receive the trunnions or axis of the mandrel and direct the same intothe slotted guides P, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, said mandrelsbeing discharged from their or swinging of such supports; (See dotteclines in Fig. 3 of the drawings.)

Ropes J may be connected with the-trun nions or axis of the mandrel andbe'supported in any suitable manner, (not shown,) whereby the mandrelsare lifted out of contact with the cooling-rollers'H and I and low ered'into a tank K, containing a cooling bath or liquid, substantially asshown. If found desirable in practice, an internal sleeve or lining ofaluminium L, Fi 4, may be secured placed upon the mandrel F and the pipewound thereon, and

ed in a frame or hood G, having a roller of bearings, a rollerverticallyadjustable in of suitable material, a mandrel mounted on the sleeve Lmay extend beyond one end of l the )ipe to form a connection or joint inas-- sem ling the pipe.

The operation of this invention will be readil -understood from theforegoing descriptlon when taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawings and the following description thereof.

The web or material B is unreeled and passed between the heating-rollersl), E, and d and under the submerged roller (1 and is drawn up to andaround the mandrel F pref.- erably by hand, and wire is drawn from thereelR and drum S,-respe('-tively, to the mandrel and passed therearoundwith the web or material B, whereupon the mandrel is rotated by hand ormachinery, and the paper, cloth, or fabric is wound upon the mandrel atthe same time or together with the wire or wires W, it being understoodthat the Wire is wound spirally of the tube back and forth This may beaccomplished by any well-known mechanism or by hand.

During the winding of the web and mate ironer or pressure device G isforced upon and rotates in contact with the same during the operation ofWinding and heats and smooths the coating or mixtureor composition uponthe web as the same is being wound, and all lumps or excess of mixturewill be removed by the ironer and will fall into the kettle, therebyproducing an even and finished surface for the product.

If found desirable in practice, sheets of metal T, with upturned edges,0, Fig. 9, or a wound with the web or material B to afford additionalrigidity to the pipe or tube, the upturned or deflected edges p actingto retain the sheets of metal in position so they can be In Fig. 6 ofthe drawings there is illustrated a modified construction of the ironeror pressure device, which is shown as 1nountmounted therein to operatein connection with the mandrel F, as before stated.
